1 Field of application
This standard applies to structural components made from hollow steel sections subjected to predominantly static loading, and connected to one another without any change of cross section. Compliance with the specifications of this standard may be taken to signify that the design and construction of all junction points have been performed in a secure and workmanlike manner.
2 Concept
For the purposes of this standard, hollow sections are members exhibiting a closed, circular or rectangular (including square) hollow cross section, in respect of which the wall thickness remains constant by design right around the entire periphery of the cross section, and also along the entire length of the member (see DIN 2448,DIN 2458,DIN 59410 and DIN 59411).
3 Materiais
As a general rule, only steel grades St 37-2, 37-3 St and St 52-3 specified in DIN 17 100, DIN 17 119,DIN 17 120 and DIN 17 121 may be used, hereinafter referred to simply as St 37 or S t 52 steel. If different structural steels are used, DIN 18800 Part 1, March 1981 edition, subclause 2.1.1, second and third paragraphs are to be consulted.
4 Trusses
4.1 General information on design In the case of members, trusses made from hollow sections shall be designed as described in subclause 4.3 and in the case of junction points, as described in subclauses 4.4and 4.5. Continued on pages 2 t o 20

4.2 Nomenclature, quantities and symbols A distinction shall be made between hollow sections which pass through a junction point (continuous hollow sections) and hollow sections which terminate a t said junction point, as shown in figure 1. The hollow sections passing through the junction point shall be identified by the figure O, whilst the hollow sections terminating a t the junction point shall be identified consecutively by figures 1, 2, etc. in a clockwise direction. In addition, a distinction shall be made between topmounted and bottom-mounted hollow sections.

Explanatory notes
The specifications of this standard are based on extensive research work and testing carried out at the Versuchsanstalt fr Stahl, Holz und Stehe at Karlsruhe University, and abroad. The design rules relating to truss junction points have been elaborated taking account o f the following criteria. - Stressing of the web members i s not t o exceed the permissiblestresses for fillet welds. As the area of the weld is a t least as great as the cross-sectional area of the hollow section, and the permissible weld stresses are not exceeded, an analysis of the welds may be dispensed with. - The permissible loadbearingcapacity in the junction zone shall be deemed t o have been attained when the maximum deformation in the connecting surface of the bottom-mounted member amounts to 1/100th o f the width or diameter. - In respect of the safety against rupture the factor of safety shall be at least 2.
If the d / t and blt ratios specified in tables 3 and 6 for members in compression have been complied with, a verification of safety against bulging of the hollow sections may be dispensed with. The limits specified in the present standard deviate from those laid down in DIN 18800 Part 2 (at present a t the stage of draft) because the specifications relating t o width b or to diameter d are defined in a different manner. The required wall thickness ratios have only been specified for width/wall thickness ratios b,/tu not exceeding 35 or du/tu not exceeding 35, because bottom-mounted members with even thinner walls are hardly ever used. However, should they be present in exceptional cases, it will be necessary to carry out special analyses. In figure 11 of the standard, weld shapes t o be used when jointing rectangular hollow sections are illustrated. I n detail C of figure 1 1, a distinction i s made between two different included angles. For an included angle B o f not less than 60", fusion of the theoretical root point i s always possible. On the other hand, for truss junction points with included angles 8;. 30,in most cases complete fusion of the theoretical root point i s not possible. This does not however result in any diminution of the loadbearing capacity of the junction point, because there is only slight stress in these areas due to the stress distribution at the junction point. The value of the limit angle ensuring adequate fusion of the theoretical root point does not only depend on the welder's ability, but also, amongst other aspects, on the welding process adopted. In the case of included angles of less than 300,it i s not reasonable as a general rule t o expect that the welds will be free of fusion defects. In exceptional cases; flawless welds a t included angles B o f less than 30' can be achieved by using specially trained welders, adopting special welding parameters and using special equipment (e.g. narrow gap nozzles). Different tu& ratios for St 37 and S t 52 steels make allowance for the different ratios of permissible weld stress t o permissible structural component stress of these two steel grades. The design of a structure according t o the ultimate load method or, by way of simplification, according t o the plastic-hinge theory, which makes it possible t o exploit load-carrying reserves in statically indeterminate structures, is contingent upon adequate rotational capacities, an accurate assessment of which for loadbearing structures made from hollow sections has as yet not proved possible. I n respect of loadbearing capacity, truss junction points made from circular hollow sections are somewhat more suitable than truss junction points made from rectangular section hollow sections (shell structural conditions). For reasons of simplification, no attempt was made t o include special diagrams relating to the exploitation of these loadcarry ing reserves. In the case of flexurally rigid frame corners with included angles Bexceeding 90'. the stress concentration factor Q may be used, because it i s situated on the safe side. The design method specified shall however not be used for frame corners of multistorey frames with continuous column. Special considerations concerning adequate strength shall be devoted t o the design of flexurally rigid frame corners with stiffening plate, in respect of which a tensile stress in the direction of the material thickness of the stiffening plate cannot be avoided.
